“An extraordinary book, correct in mathematical detail, brilliant in its understanding of the role of math and science in the history of art and architecture. A major accomplishment, highly recommended.”—Ralph Abraham, director, Visual Math Institute, University of California, Santa Cruz
“Well written and timely, Fractal Architecture is a logically concise and cogent presentation of the theory behind nature’s fractal geometry. Harris has succeeded in establishing the practical technique of integrating organic fractal design into architecture.”—Scott Olsen, author of The Golden Section: Nature’s Greatest Secret
“Fractal Architecture shows how you can apply fractal principles to both understanding old architecture and envisioning new architecture that can have a futuristic and yet classical look. Harris's book wonderfully expands our idea of what ‘organic design' means.”—John Briggs, author of Fractals: The Patterns of Chaos: Discovering a New Aesthetic of Art, Science, and Nature
"Architect Harris explores the role of fractal geometry in architecture in this beautiful book....An outstanding feature of the book is the large collection of computer-generated graphics, based on fractal algorithms, which show sequential stages of the development of complex buildings from simpler shapes. The author's approach is interdisciplinary, drawing on psychology, philosophy, art history, biology, physics, and mathematics."—Choice
